Question

Mark the following integer on the number line:

'$-10$'

Answer 1

Step 1: Draw a line and mark some points at equal distances, as shown in the figure. Mark a point as '$0$‘ on it. Points to the right of ’$0$' are positive integers, marked, $1,2,3$ and so on. Points to the left of '$0$' are negative integers, marked, $-1,-2,-3$ and so on.

Step 2: In order to mark '$-10$' on this line, move 10 points to the left of zero.

Therefore, the point marked in the figure represents '$-10$' on the number line.
